Chinook Senior Center

Thank you to all who sent cards called or messaged me last week after my heart attack on Monday. Your support is much appreciated and thank you to those who took over my duties while I was in the hospital.

St. Patrick’s Day is coming up, a day of green beer and getting pinched if you are not wearing green. Why do we wear green on St. Patrick’s Day? The thought was that wearing green made one invisible to leprechauns and fairy folk who would pinch anyone they could see, which was anyone not wearing green. People began pinching those who didn’t wear green as a reminder that leprechauns would sneak up and pinch green-abstainers.

Thursdays Bingo winner was Maxine Harrison.

Our activities start at 1 p.m. Our activities include Pinochle on Monday, Shanghai Rummy on Tuesday, Scrabble, Whist or other cards on Wednesday afternoons, Bingo on Thursday, and Pinochle on Friday. Anyone is welcome to join us.

We have fresh baked cinnamon rolls every Thursday morning for $1 each. Please call by Tuesday if you want more than six.

Anyone and everyone of any age are welcome to join us at the center for lunch and activities. There are no age requirements. Please feel free to join us. It is recommended that if you are joining us for lunch that you give us a call by 10 a.m. for the cook to have the ability to prepare enough food. The suggested donation for lunch is $5 for age 60 and over and $6 for under the age of 60.
